Measured quantities.
Reviewable scope.
Detailed construction takeoffs organized for commercial bidding, purchasing review and trade-specific estimating across the United States.
QUANTITY TAKEOFF SUPPORT
Turn drawings into quantities your estimating team can use.
A useful takeoff is more than a list of numbers. It should show what was measured, how the information is grouped and which assumptions affect the scope. Ace Constructor prepares takeoffs for contractors that need extra production capacity without losing control of their own bid review.
Before starting, we confirm the trade or divisions, required units, drawing set, addenda, alternates and preferred output. This helps avoid a generic spreadsheet that does not match the way your team buys or bids the work.
Drawing and specification review
The applicable sheets, specifications and revisions are identified before measurement begins.
Scope-based measurement
Materials and work items are measured using the units and organization appropriate to the requested trade.
Markup coordination
Color-coded markups may accompany the quantity sheet so the measured areas can be reviewed against the plans.
Assumptions and clarifications
Ambiguous, incomplete or excluded work is noted to support contractor review and follow-up questions.
COMMON USES
Additional takeoff capacity when deadlines overlap.
Takeoff services can support an active bid, a defined specialty scope, a purchasing review or an internal estimator who needs measured quantities prepared in advance.
Bid preparation
Quantities developed for a current contractor opportunity.
Trade-specific scope
Focused measurement for one subcontractor division.
Overflow production
Additional support when the internal estimating calendar is full.

TAKEOFF ORGANIZATION
Structured for the way you review and price work.
